Chapter 5
It had been three weeks since Vanna bounded with him and Harry loves his new friend as well as the fact everyone is getting used to her so quickly. He's also enjoying having Angel as a mom for the simple fact he has become super protective and clingy since they all agreed he would be Harry's mother.
Flashback one week ago
Harry had just finished trying to control and manifest his magic using Vanna leading to some interesting effects and even more interesting results.
"Maybe we should try building a wall and not a tower next time." The only response he got from his new friend was a feeling of amusement.Turning towards the sound of the back door opening Harry sees Angel exit while messing with his phone.
"Harry honey it's time to come in your father wants your help with- oh MY SATAN!!!"
There before Angel was a twenty foot tower with no door or obvious way in and a flat open top which Harry stood upon looking over the edge at him.
"Hold on honey mamas comin for ya, Alastor get out here and help me get our son down." Harry giggles at his mothers antics before concentrating on his magic and forcing it into the tower making it shrink down until it is ground level. Angel quickly grabs him and starts to examine him to make sure he's okay before firmly grabbing his shoulders making him look him in the eyes.
"Harry honey why did you do that you nearly gave me a heart attack are you trying to make me go gray in the hair." As he's addressing Harry, Alastor walks out looking for the problem but seeing nothing turns to Angel with their son and begins to speak.
"Angel darling what was it that made you holler for me so desperately?" He asks curiously. "Our son decided to make a tower with him standing on it and no railings to keep him on it without any one watching him." Alastor turns his gaze upon Harry who looks ashamed and is looking towards the ground.
"I just wanted to test my magic with Vanna as my focus point I didn't think it would be a big deal." He mumbles in embarrassment.
Alastor walks over to Harry and places his hand on his shoulder and waits for him to look him in the eye, once he's sure he has his attention he speaks. "It's not that we don't want you to practice with your magic son but what if you do something and hurt yourself in a way that could of been avoided if someone else had been there. Also what if you did something that you couldn't undo, you should have just asked or waited for a better time to do it."
Harry hangs his head in shame but before he can let negative thoughts cloud his mind Alastor pulls him into a hug which he quickly returns. After a second of shock Angel quickly joins in on the hug as well before Alastor can try and pull away.
Flashback end
After that incident someone was always with him when he practiced and never let him do anything big unless Alastor was there to supervise. But what was the best part in his opinion was how close Alastor and Angel were getting even if they couldn't see it.
But today was a great day because he just got done with playing with Charlie and was about to go and help his mother with something after he made lunch which was shaping up to be a great day when something strange happened.
One second he's walking in the entrance hall towards the kitchen and the next second there is no entrance hall in front of him. It's as if though it simply disappeared like the hand of god had come and ripped it away fromthe rest of the hotel. Looking out the new hole made by this phenomenon he sees that it's nothing so paranormal but it's simple that weird snake man that tries to pick fights with his dad.
"Come out you stripped freak I will show all that you are nothing but a pathetic weakling and coward and then I Sir Pentious will be the true feared overlord of the pentagram!"
Harry simply watched as the funny snake man made his speech and waited for Alastor to arrive and send him packing like he always did. But while watching Sir Pentious he didn't notice that a piece of debris was heading for the back of his head, but Vanna did. Without even realizing his life was in danger Vanna snapped her chains up and obliterated the debris before returning to normal with Harry none the wiser.
From a side door in the entry way Alastor steps out and sees Harry standing there looking out the hole that had just been made. "My word what sort of trouble did you get into now my young fellow?" Harry turned to respond to Alastor while pointing at Sir Pentious when an explosion rang out from behind the snake man.
Being thrown forward and landing at Harry's feet unconscious both father and son look to the figure moving towards them. Alastor with annoyance in his smile while Harry has a large grin plastered across his face. "Aunt Cherri!"
With a smile just as wide as Harry's, Cherri quickly moves towards her nephew stepping on the unconscious form of Pentious and scoops Harry into a hug.
"How's my favorite little nephew doing, any new tricks to show your aunt Cherri like that explosion spell last week?"
Alastor shakes his head in exasperation and Harry giggles at his aunt before pointing his hand at a rock and letting his magic affect it. Pentious is starting to regain consciousness when he feels a hand on the back of his jacket before weightlessness and then he loses consciousness again.
The smile on Cherri's face grows even wider in seeing the improvised land mine her nephew makes and the many fun ideas she could make with them. But first she has to see her favorite gal pal before trying to use these new toys her nephew just made.
"So smiles where's the wife I need her help with something." Before Alastor can reply to her question with one of his usual quips Harry decides to be a part of this conversation.
"Mom's up in her room prepping for something she said was adult business I can take you to her room if you want aunt Cherri." Putting Harry back on the floor he takes her by the hand and leads her up the stairs towards his mothers room.
Alastor shakes his head at his sons enthusiasm before snapping his fingers and opening a portal under the annoyance to his morning before returning to the kitchen humming a tune.
Quickly Harry leads Cherri to the floor his mom is on before being stopped by his aunt and told to let her go the rest of the way herself while he goes and helps his dad. "Are you sure ain't Cherri?" She nods. "Course I'm sure kiddo now get going me and your mom will join you shortly." Harry just smiles and walks off back to his original destination before the snake man.
Cherri takes a deep breath before opening the door to Angels room and finding him curled up on his bed with fat nuggets trying to get his attention. As softly and quietly as she can Cherri moves closer to the bed and sits down on the edge.
For a few moments nothing is said and nothing happens before a small whisper leaves Angels mouth. "..." Cherri doesn't reply or acknowledge the sound just continues to sit waiting on him to act.
"I'm scared Cherri...how can I be sure that I'm good enough for Harry good enough for my boy, to make sure that he will be safe and loved. Not only that but my relationship with my own family isn't the greatest either how can I even hope to make him happy?"
Cherri says nothing she simply moves farther into the bed before wrapping her arms around Angel who stiffens then relaxes then turns and reciprocate the hug then she speaks. "Listen I don't know anything about raising no kid and I'm no model on family either. But you love that kid and all those worries you have make you a better parent then my own and yours were and are so I say you're doing a good job. That kid is happy loved and cherished which is a hard thing to find down here, so stop those tears babe and come on down to breakfast that your sons made."
Angel sniffs and separates from Cherri giving her a quick smile before heading to the vanity and prepping for the day.
Sorry if that got a little heavy at the end but I thought I'd try a more serious scene so I hope you all enjoyed it anyway please leave a comment and review to help me make these better and thanks for reading.
